Cheval des Andes

A collaboration between Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes, Cheval des Andes is an exciting project in the heart of Mendoza. Blending pre-phylloxera clones of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wines are some of Argentina’s most sought-after.

Pierre Lurton – CEO of Saint-Emilion’s Cheval Blanc – was visiting Argentina in the late 1990s when he stumbled across a plot of ungrafted Malbec, planted in 1929, with a clone imported to the country pre-phylloxera, when the grape was found widely in Bordeaux. Lurton saw it as an opportunity to produce a wine that had its roots in Bordeaux yet could no longer be made there. He teamed up with Roberto de la Mota – the winemaker behind Terrazas de los Andes – to craft wines that would prove the quality possible in Argentina.
